[Opencxx-users] 'metaclass' keyword

[Stefan S. <se...@sy...>]

hi there,

I just got a bug report for synopsis from a user who
reports that all input containing 'metaclass' generates
parse errors.
Looking into the Opencxx lexer, I see it's defined there
as a keyword :-)

Obviously I have to remove this for synopsis, though I'd
like to preserve the possibility to insert opencxx markers
into C++ code. What could become an alternative keyword ?
What token is unlikely to be used by others, and yet a valid
token ? (apparently words starting with two underscores are
out, as they are reserved for the compiler / std library).
What about '_opencxx' or similar ? (I know it's used as a macro
now...)

Regards,
		Stefan

Why don't you put it under run-time flag?

right ! I didn't notice this capability, but now that I see it
it's indeed the best solution, in particular given the overal
goal to open up the frontend, so registering new keywords will
be trivial.
